The Climate Change Project

Climate change is real and it's happening. Within the last five years, Mississauga has experienced more intense heat waves, rain, flooding and winter storms. It's predicted that these trends will continue in the future.

We are in the process of creating our first Climate Change Action Planto reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare Mississauga for the impacts of a changing global climate.

OUR VISION

Strengthening our community by creating a low-carbon and resilient future.

The City is currently wrapping up our Background Studies
Phase. We have been busy gathering data to support the development of the
Climate Change Action Plan. Study topics include land use, municipal fleet,
infrastructure vulnerability assessments, clean tech sector assessment, energy
mapping, community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions footprint analysis, and
community climate risk assessments. All of the information from this phase of the
project will feed into the Action Planning Phase which kicks off in the fall of
2018.

Our Community Engagement and Outreach is now underway. Get involved
